All I can say is that the belt in this picture is 1000x better and will probably last longer than any non Volvo OEM pieces of garbage you’d buy off the jungle sales app. Heck those might not even get you back home.
Reviews of spare parts for Volvo
Genuine Volvo belt. Estimate it had been on there about a year.
I converted a 760GLE to 5.0 Mustang power and everything I could get from IPD. The Bilsteins / urethane bushings and sway bars made that thing a weapon on the curves.
I own one.
Critical service items are: Aux belt and tensioner, transmission fluid change, AWD fluid service. These are outside of normal service items.Too, the timing belt.
I’ve replaced the radiator for a small leak. It’s been a good solid car.
Reliability has been second to none, requiring only an ABS sensor and windscreen washer pump (other than servicing and basic wear & tear stuff (brakes & tyres)).
I was quoted 1250.00 for ONLY TIE RODS. This chick went on you tube and watched fcp euro put tie rods on my exact 09 xc90, guess who did the job herself for $100 (moog tie rods) ME .
my current car is a 2017 Volvo v60 t5. and I've done 175000km
love it. but almost replaced it in 2024.
next most expensive repair was a seized AC compressor which then took out the serpentine belt, the quote for that was $1600 but ultimately I got it done for $850.
The only issues I have had with my XC90 is headlight failure. Painfully expensive to replace but knock on wood that is the only issue beyond routine maintenance/wear and tear.
A pick-up truck with knobby tires kicked up a rock that chipped the windshield of my wife’s brand new Volvo within 30 minutes of her leaving the dealership.
I tried Monroe strit mounts two years ago, they were supposed to be OEM-quality units. The rubber and overall construction seemed good, but the bearings were shot after just one summer season of street driving. Upon closer inspection, the don't even state a manufacturer on the bearing...
